Don't fall for the smear campaign. Remember when Big Tech launched a smear campaign against Richard Stallman when he came back to the FSF? This is pretty much the same, but done by Big Media.
Also, who wishes "freedom" and "human rights" to people? That usually means death and slavery (see Libya). Do not wish that to people.
It is absolutely not something "totally different". They are both enemies of big corporations and want to free the people from the control of the corporations. The smear campaigns have many things in common, like taking events that happened a long time ago, assuming malicious intent, framing something in a deceptive way, accusing without evidence...
